15/f.

this kid, told my friend, that he wants to kill all the people that are mean to him in school. and he tried to buy a gun, but he like couldn't. or something. but he wants to kill all the mean people there. he said, "all the people that just even look at me wrong, i want to kill them." and now im scared. i mean i'm not sure how serious he was. because he is veryyy emotional. like he has major mood swings. but i just don't wanna walk into school one day, and hes having an off day, and die for it. you know? and hes like, well it doesnt matter. because the most that will happen to me is ill get 25 years in jail. and thats not a big deal.

Go to a counselor.

Being 15 and living in society today, you are taught "dont tell the authority figures anything"

In some cases, thats right. In others (like this) its not. Give them as much information as you can. Bring in the friend that he told it to.

You know, everyone has their off days. I imagine Ive said things when angry that would worry a few people when I was younger. He might be blowing off steam.

If hes not, people might die.

If you know that hes tried to buy a weapon, and you know hes talked about killing people alot, tell someone. Now. You cannot take the chance with other people's lives.

And Ill tell you something.

If you say something and nothing ever happens, you might feel a little down because you wonder if you needed to say anything.

If you dont say something, and he comes and shoots up the school, you will feel a hell of alot worse. Or you'll be dead.

Try talking to him first, in a friendly way this way he wont get over emotional, and have one of his mood swings. Tell him that you dont think its right for him to own a gun just yet, and/or that he cant just go around saying he wnats to kill people and really mesn it! Not only is it illegal but it will hurt your friendship.
Sorry im really corny, but, i hate to say it, its the truth.
Let me know how it goes for you!

If you let this go you could be putting not only your life but other lifes in danger or at risk. If something were to really happen you'd have to live with a guilty conscience because you knew he or she was planning on doing this. Go to the principle or guidance councelor even your parents and tell them about this persons plans this is a serious act and should be taken serious with so many school shootings these days anyone who mentions the word "bomb" or who "jokingly" says they will shoot or bomb the school will get into serious trouble for putting peoples lifes in danger. You could remain confident if you want he or she does not have to know you were the one who told . Don't be dumb and ignore this you could help stop this. Hope I helped.

Hun, you need to tell someone asap. No joke this is very serious. Tell your mom, call the school, call a teacher, call the cops just call someone and tell them what you heard and the name of the boy that told your friend that. This is very serious.

PLease tell someone as soon as you get done reading this. EVen if you just tell your mom she will need to contact the school or the police asap.

DEFFINTILY not risk it. this is seriously.
this your YOUR LIFE. tell someone ASAP.
i know i wouldnt want to die cause someone shot me at school! ever heard of columbine, or virginia tech? thats exactly what happen.
not only will you be helping yourself and everyone else around your school, but needless to say, you will be helping him too. cause 99% of the time he will have to go to a physiciatrist. you honestly need to tell someone right now.

there is this phone line, you can call them and report something you heard, or whatever. you can remain anonoumus. the number is 354-4377-867

ive never actually called this number so please excuse me if it doesnt work. but please, tell someone now.

stay safe.

I think you need to tell someone. If there are other people who witnessed it, get them to go with you. Even if he's joking, which hopefully it is, it's still a sign of a deeper problem. Happy, healthy people don't joke about things like that.

Talk to a guidance counsellor, teacher, the principal, even a police officer--just tell someone. It's important that you don't have to deal with the situation on your own. You'll probably get some help for this kid, and you might even prevent some deaths.

Please, tell someone. It's the right thing to do.
